IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: This product or its power cord contains lead, a chemical known

to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defect or other reproductive
harm. Wash hands after handling.

WARNING: SHOCK HAZARD: Do not operate unit with damaged cord or

plug; or if the unit has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise
damaged in any way. Do not disassemble the unit; take it to a qualified service
technician when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in
a risk of electric shock or fire, and will void warranty.

WARNING: Keep the POWER TO GO

®

out of the reach of children and pets.

The inverter generates the same potentially lethal AC power as a normal
household wall outlet. Treat the outlet with respect!

WARNING: Use caution when inserting an AC plug into the three-prong AC

outlet. The prongs of an AC plug can become bent from misuse. If an AC plug is
improperly inserted into the AC outlet, a bent prong can slip outside the inverter
and become a shock hazard.

WARNING: EXPLOSION HAZARD: This equipment employs components that

tend to produce arcs or sparks. DO NOT use in compartments containing
batteries or flammable materials. 

• Use of an attachment not supplied, recommended or sold by manufacturer specifically
for use with this unit may result in a risk of electrical shock and injury to persons.

• NEVER submerge this unit in water; do not expose it to rain, snow or use when wet.

• To reduce risk of electric shock, disconnect the unit from any power source
before attempting maintenance or cleaning. Turning off controls without
disconnecting will not reduce this risk.

WARNING: FIRE HAZARD: Let the POWER TO GO

®

cool down to ambient

temperature before charging.

• Storing the POWER TO GO

®

at temperatures over 170° F (77° C) for over two

hours may cause damage to battery and possible fire.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY, THIS UNIT SHOULD ONLY BE

OPERATED BY ADULTS; IT IS NOT FOR USE BY CHILDREN.

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE:

• Provide adequate ventilation and refrain from placing items on or around the
unit during operation. Unit may overheat and thermal shutdown will occur.
